About Mary Emilius

I started coming to Sanibel while a college student on the east coast of Florida and it was love at first sight. Unbelievably the island has not changed since then (1975). It is truly a unique and precious tropical paradise with no towering condos or big boxes. It is as close to virgin tropics as you will find in the US.

Mary Emilius purchased this condo in 2013

Why Mary Emilius chose Sanibel

It is located far from what could be considered 'maddening crowds', the commercial area of Sanibel. An easy drive - 5 miles - but far enough away to offer no traffic, peace and quiet in the complex and at the beach.

What makes this condo unique

The nature enthusiasts will be amazed at the untouched environs surrounding the small complex. We have added all the comforts of home for your convenience. The unit has everything you need to cook, play or be entertained. Bedrooms both have private baths and are located at opposite ends of the living area. The kitchen is fully equipped for the chef in your group and there is also a poolside grilling and picnic area adjacent to the clubhouse. Beach equipment includes chairs, mats, umbrella and an assortment of toys. Noodles for the pool and a handy cart completes the package. There is also a washer and dryer in the unit for your convenience.

Sanibel Nature at Your Doorstep

Amazing!! This was by far my family's best trip. The condo is so clean and very tastefully decorated . Very comfortable . The pool was great we spend our mornings there and our afternoons at the beach which is just a short walk from the condo . We saw manatees while going over the bridge that connects the condo to the ocean , my kids are still talking about it ! We went canoeing in the river and saw flying fish . It really was the best vacation ever. We will be down again next year!!

The perfect setting for any type of vacation.

Beautiful, semi private beach exploding with shells!! It is an easy and picturesque walk from the condo, where you will pass the tennis courts and walk over a bridge where alligator and pelican sightings are likely. The beach has relatively calm, warm waters making it easy to swim and fish. The pool is quiet and clean for when you need a break from the beach. There are also countless paths for biking, hiking and sightseeing surrounding the complex to easily experience Florida's unique ecosystem.

When you are looking to return to the indoors this condo is particularly cozy. My family especially liked that the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the condo so that my parents could go to sleep a little later and not risk waking the baby. There are also two finished bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi tub) which was necessary for the 6 people we had staying there. The kitchen is fully equipped and the condo also has a full washer/dryer for anyone who has an extended stay or has young kids. The condo is conveniently located by Captivas bridge so it is a short drive to both the main attractions on Captiva and Sanibel, the best of both worlds! In brief, this is the perfect location for a family vacation, quiet girls weekend or a romantic getaway. You will leave feeling refreshed and have seashell souvenirs to last a life time!

Great value for the price; beautiful beach, quiet and kid-friendly

This unit is very clean and spacious with all the expected amenities. One note is that the bedroom doors are thin with open slats, so conversation/TV noise from the main living area can be heard easily, especially in the master bedroom (living room TV is right outside the master bedroom door). Not a big deal, but just something to be aware of if you have kids who go to bed before everyone else. The complex is very quiet and well maintained. The pool is big and clean. Obviously the beach is the main attraction, and it is a short 5-minute walk from the condo. Not being right on the beach you won't necessarily want to run back and forth a lot, so just double-check you have everything before you leave the condo. That being said, a trip back to the condo for bathroom breaks or to get the forgotten sand toys is no big deal. The beach is always pretty quiet as there's lots of room to spread out. Early morning walks to the east (left, away from the public beach) were great. Very few people out, but lots of shells and wildlife. Saw dozens of dolphins on multiple occasions, sometimes fairly close to shore, mainly in the early morning (7-9 am). Note that the map in the guest binder did not clearly mark where to access the beach. Here's what you do - go back down to the covered parking, facing the dumpster across the road. Turn right and walk down the road about 100 ft to the last building. There the road ends and becomes a sidewalk with tennis courts on your right. Go past the outdoor shower / wash station to the gate in the chain link fence. Go through the gate, turn left and go over the bridge. After the bridge go straight through the trees to the beach. Note that if you turn right after the bridge you will end up at the public access area, which you probably don't want to do. Blind Pass is very convenient if you plan to spend time at Ding Darling NWR, Tarpon Bay Explorers, CROW, or generally want to avoid all the traffic on the east end of the island. It's still only a short drive to Bailey's to get groceries or ice cream, and you avoid all madness more to the east. Finally, it should be clear from the unit's description, but just so there's no confusion, you cannot see the beach from this unit, or any unit in the complex, I believe. Our first time at Sanibel we stayed at a condo farther east, with a balcony overlooking the beach. That was nice and all, but we actually prefer the much more affordable rates and quiet beaches at Blind Pass.

Spring break vacation

The unit was very clean and had all updated amenities. Had everything we needed for the beach which was very nice. Beach is very nice and not crowded. Would definitely recommend this unit/condos to others.

Perfect vacation

The unit is updated, spotless and has all the amenities needed for a great stay. The area is amazing, across from ding Darling sanctuary and a short jaunt across a lovely wooden footbridge spanning the lagoon to Bowmans beach. Shells were amazing and my husband caught a shark. Tennis courts and pool in great shape, perfect!

Blind Pass E201 is located on the quiet west end of the island near Captiva Island. The unit is on the 2nd floor and a jog down the stairs takes you to the private beach path over the bayou's wooden foot bridge to the beach. The complex has a beautiful pool, tennis courts clubhouse and outdoor grilling area.
